Hi: I have the same table and the plate sits just slightly higher than the table. That's intentional to avoid hitting the table on the out-feed side. I would advise you to call Oak-Park on the phone, they have techs that can help. I have found them to be a good company to deal with. The plate not centering with the router is another matter.
I would check with them to confirm that it is the proper plate for that particular router,
and if it is it may not be drilled properly. The bit must center in order to use guide bushings. It also must clear all of the bits that use a bearing for a guide.
That's my 2c worth.. Woodnut65 |
